Abstract

The article presents a model of the objectives, factors and activities affecting the physical, economic and cultural aspects of child survival, using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The model and similar simplified versions of it may be used to assist decision‐making by aid agencies, development organisations and government bodies in the allocation of their scarce resources.
